Mintyukov notched an assist and three blocked shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has five assists over his last eight outings. The 20-year-old defenseman made an impact on the power play early in the season, but none of his six points since his return from a shoulder injury have been with the man advantage. The rookie blueliner has 25 points, 71 shots on net, 71 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating over 52 outings. He should continue to see top-four usage down the stretch.

Mintyukov notched a shorthanded assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov earned the first shorthanded point of his career when he set up Brett Leason's first-period tally. The 20-year-old Mintyukov topped 20 minutes of ice time for the first time since Dec. 5 with Ilya Lyubushkin getting scratched for a trade and Cam Fowler (face) exiting the game after one shift. Mintyukov is up to 24 points, 67 shots on net, 66 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 48 appearances this season. Mintyukov would likely slot onto the first power-play unit if Fowler's injury costs him playing time.

He's up to three goals, 20 points, 62 shots on net, 51 hits, 44 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 42 appearances in his rookie season.

EDGE Analysis

Mintyukov has been a pleasant surprise in his rookie season, but he'll now miss a large chunk of time. He has 19 points over 40 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what kind of injury Mintyukov is dealing with. The Ducks' next game is Thursday against the Hurricanes. The rookie defenseman has 19 points over 40 contests this season and has filled a regular role, so his absence could be a noticeable one for the Ducks and for fantasy managers in deeper formats. Robert Hagg would likely enter the lineup if Mintyukov misses time.
